14U boys substate in Knoxville


Recommended Posts

I didn't say th coach from kaya was poor in any manner. I'll give credit when it is due he has taken a bunch of extremely talented players and they play very well as a team no question. To me that is a sign of a good coach especially in today's me first game. I was just curious to why they didn't press because they play so well that way. It is when they are at their best! They are the best I've seen at that style and I know that first hand believe me so aaucoach 13 don't take my comment wrong. You won the tournament by +71 points so obviously the strategy worked. It is to my understanding that most of the teams out west are really big and I felt like that would be the style he would choose to play to advance at state. I hope kaya wins it all they are the best team I've seen and I respect their coaching extremely. As a matter of fact the move to go box and one agianst the elite won them that game ifthey didn'tgo to that defensive they may not have even won the game. I just felt maddox didn't adjust to the box and one.

Truthfully, we really didn't have to press. When you press sometimes you pick up silly fouls, and the officials know you are more aggressive. We could have pressed, but when you press your players wear down quicker.

I understand the kid that scored all those points from the Elite team tried to be a one man show. Maybe Kats/Daddy knows for sure. Memphis has been inundated with calls this week because AAU has never had all tournament teams in sub-state or state play. How did they come up with it this year in Knoxville? We've been involved in AAU for over 14 years and it has never been done in Lynchburg, Nashville, Jackson or Memphis. I've never even heard of it happening in Knoxville, until this year.

The All-Tournament team was selected by an independent panel of one person from the Knoxville Jazz organization. If I remember correctly: Elite had 2, Top Guns had 2, Lightning had 1, and KAYA had 1.

 

I'm not sure how the independent panel of 1 person was able to travel to 3 gyms and see all 12 teams equally.

 

I can say they did it in 13U, and every team was represented but 1.

 

If you have any complaints I'd email the Tournament Director and Knoxville Jazz president at: [email protected]. Especially those people who didn't like the officiating. Those with officiating concerns should email the President of the Jazz, and call Mr. Anderson in Memphis.

I play for the pacesetters and the refs were terrible. I really believe we should have won at least 2 of our games but there was bad officiating. I appreciate you all mentioning our coach because he is also my dad. Yes he is doing fine. We R playing in yboa sub-state this weekend. Has anyone found out who has gotten all-tournament?Also I think the Eagles should have beaten the lightning. The refs gave the game away.

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
